cold glass, ice clicking in the glass.. ptchhhht, bottle opens.. gobble gobble pssshhhhhht as the gas settles pouring in that black liquid heart attack goodness... glub glub.. and the famous "Ahhhhhhhhhh"?

I'm expecting the HVAC/water heating to be a much more significant project, as there are a lot of questions I have that I cannot answer about whether I'd need to expand the gas service or electrical, whether I can run small-duct high-velocity in the ceiling easily or possibly along the ceiling inside the unit instead of in the walls, etc.If possible, we also would like to install in-unit washers/dryers in the first and second floor units.I don't know if any of the above would require expansion of the gas or electrical service to the building, or how I would go about setting that up.

The question I have is... it’s next door to a gas station.

I recently looked at a duplex and wanted to get some thoughts on if these items should be factored into the offer price:The water heaters were over 10 years old, both gas furnaces were over 10 years old, the water was not separately metered, the front porch (cement) had some cracks in it, and both units would need some paint and new carpeting. 

It's an oil/gas/agri town about 2 hours from a major center.

You did not specify electric or gas or the size of the unit by I use them often because:-For smaller units they are cheaper and easy to install-Take up very little space-Are efficientThe negatives:-May require a breaker reconfigure as the usually require 2 30amp breakers-In bigger properties with a long run say to the other side of the house, it takes a minute or 2 to heat up

Heat is natural gas.

Gas that car up to get driving toward success(I wont let electric cars ruin this metaphor)!

Interested in hearing some answersI know timber, gas, and mineral rights...Im just not sure how to go about this

However it's zoned as a duplex with the city(has 2 gas meters, 2 furnaces, 2 waterheaters).
